Major gas range breakdowns

The gas range burner won’t light or turns off

A common gas range malfunction is the gas burner not turning on or not turning on at all. If your range is equipped with automatic ignition, it’s worth checking the electrical supply by turning on another appliance. Our Hotpoint Range Repair and Service technicians will quickly repair this problem.

The ignition does not work

This breakdown is not a sentence of the panel, most owners switch to matches. Troubleshooting begins with checking the outlet and calling Hotpoint Range Repairs.

The range gas burner goes out during operation

If the range gas burner goes out during operation, it’s worth watching the gas combustion. The flame from the burner should wash over the thermocouple from all sides. If the flame does not reach the thermocouple, the range nozzle should be cleaned.

Range burners are burning badly

If the flame on the gas burner burns slower than usual (has a small corona), the cause of the malfunction may be a clogged hole in the atomizing gas nozzle. The burner should be thoroughly cleaned. The flame height directly depends on the amount of fuel and air supplied to the burner. Adjusting the air damper and cleaning the nozzle can correct the problem, but this work should be done by a specialized technician. Hotpoint Range Repair and Service specialists will solve the problem.

Weak gas flame

If the flame on the gas burner burns slower than usual, the cause of the problem may be a clogged hole in the atomizing gas nozzle. The burner should be thoroughly cleaned. The flame height is directly related to the amount of fuel and air supplied to the burner. Hotpoint Range Repair technicians will clean the gas burner.

Gas adjustment valves are difficult to turn

Mostly caused by grease buildup on the pivoting mechanisms. Take everything off and wash with soapy water. Less so because of lack of lubrication inside the tap.

Burner shuts off after releasing knob

Modern imported gas ranges are constantly “suffering” due to poor operation of the gas-control system. Often the thermo-electromagnetic valve breaks down. We recommend not trying to repair it and even more so disconnect it, the right solution is to replace the worn-out valve with a new one. Gas control is, above all, your safety and the safety of your property.

Gas odor

Smelling gas while cooking or when you’re done, indicates that your gas range needs maintenance. If you feel the presence of gas near the range or in the room where the kitchen appliance is installed, immediately turn off the faucet down to the range, open the windows and ventilate the room. Very often during repairs, we notice that gas leaks are caused by poor connections. Hotpoint Range Repairs and Services gas repair technicians will fix the breakdown quickly.

Your gas range won’t light up or turn on

If your range is equipped with an electric auto-ignition system, the range may not light due to a worn-out spark plug. The electric spark is striking away from the burner. Turn off the light in the kitchen and press the ignition button. A gas range is a technically complex device, so we don’t recommend troubleshooting the problem yourself, the best solution is to contact Hotpoint Range Repair.

All of these and other breakdowns can be avoided by adhering to the rules of operation, regular diagnostic inspections and, if necessary, preventive gas range repairs.
